Cheltenham in clear for two-day International meeting

Cheltenham do not expect the big freeze expected this week to be a problem
after a revised forecast predicted milder weather arriving ahead of their
two-day International meeting on Friday and Saturday.

Clerk of the course Simon Claisse said: “The course is covered because we are expecting sub-zero temperatures Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday down to about minus 5C/6C. The forecast now is for very little frost on Thursday night and some heavy rain early on Friday and then it should be dry.”

Saturday’s Stanjames.com International Hurdle and Unicoin Homes Relkeel Hurdle have both been reopened for entries until this morning.
